Why Founders Are Letting AI Run Their Inboxes
Spoiler: It’s not because they’re lazy it’s because their time is too valuable to waste on email busywork.
If you're a founder, your inbox is a battlefield. Investors, customers, team updates, legal, hiring, support... the flood never ends. You don't need another productivity hack. You need an actual assistant, not human, but smart enough to feel like one.

Founders are letting AI run their inboxes not because they’re lazy but because it lets them move faster, communicate better, and focus on what actually matters.
If you’re still drowning in email, Flumes AI isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s your first real hire.
